Sugar Glider cull in Tasmania

[Catherine]

I am sure logging is very much part of the problem. Blaming the sugar gliders is not fair. They are not the whole cause of the parrot decline. Habitat loss may be a more serious issue, Killing all the sugar gliders will not save the parrots if their habitat is gone.

Right now when there is any problem with introduced species vs native species the solution is always a cull. I didn't know about the NZ possums. I would have been against that too. The possums didn't deserve to die. The sugar gliders didn't deserve to die. 
You are right LPC about the rats. We brought them to places where they don't belong and they don't deserve to die.

A cull is an easy way to blame a problem on an introduced species and act like the things we do have not effected species survival. Instead of a cull we should admit that we have made a mistake and then look for solutions. 
Can we save all the introduced species? Can we save all the native species? I don't know, but we should have to try to do what is right not what is convenient.
